Roxy from Roxy the Traveling Dog said, "Maybe something will happen and you will be able to go after all." Yes! Something happened, that something being that my sis and I spent all morning yesterday emailing, texting, and making phone calls. Susan from Life with Wrigs said, "There must be some way you can do both!"Yes! We are going to be able to do both, because my sister-in-law graciously offered to have the birthday party for my mom start at 1:00, so that my sis and I can be outta there early and have time to make it to the gala in L.A. We are going to stay overnight so we'll have a hotel room where we can get dolled up once we get there.The hubs, as I mentioned before, doesn't really enjoy these kinds of fancy dinners, but my sis and I both like to play dress up,(and she's also a supporter of MAF!) so she was more than happy to be my date for the night. Like I said, we started putting these wheels in motion yesterday morning, but then I also had to make sure they still had tickets, since I'd turned them down on Wednesday morning. But I just go the email confirming our tickets will be waiting for us next Saturday. Whoohoo!!!

I'm gonna be in the same room with this fabulous lady: (!!!!)

Dog-lover extraordinaire, Betty Freaking White you guys!!

I'm SOOOOO excited! I'll give you guys the full report the following week!

Best Follow up Friday ever! Wonderful how it all worked out for you. I adore Betty White too. I've heard that some hilarious potty mouth words come out of that sweet face on occasion which kind of makes her more of a role model than her great career and selfless work with animals. She is one celebrity who doesn't just grab a dog leash for the camera. Can't wait to hear about it.

Yeah, she's pretty spicy. I want to be her when I grow up. One of my favorite things she says is when interviewers will ask her something along the lines of, "Betty, you've had such a long amazing career. Is there anything else you'd like to do?" She'll answer: "Robert Redford." Cracks me up every time I hear it!

Yay!!!! That is so awesome, I am so excited for you! Betty White!! I didn't want to gush about it before, and only make you feel worse! :) Family can be so great, can't they, it was so super of them to work things out for you! My hubby doesn't like doing stuff like that either, but I can usually find a sister or girlfriend who will fill in too. I know you are going to have a great time, and we'll all be looking forward to hearing about it.
